The virtual library link is dead...and has been removed.
when i first read the description fo the series the line about the farm confused the hell out of me. when i realized it was characters from fables not fables themselves. That was the goal f my orignal edit. sorry for the confusion.
Does anyone know what awards Fables has won? I know it has a few Eisners, but I don't recall what for. -- Trithemius 02:07, 14 March 2006 (UTC)
In the Hollywood arc, why is Jill so small? Is she not the Jill of "Jack and Jill"? If not, who is she?-- Radaar 04:58, 4 June 2006 (UTC)
Perhaps the large list of characters could be put into a seperate article about Fables Characters, ala List of characters in 100 Bullets? IF there's no objections, I think I'll go ahead and do this. Elijya 20:13, 15 June 2006 (UTC)
What category should all the Fables articles go in? Category:Fables (comic)? Dread Lord CyberSkull ✎☠ 05:04, 22 July 2006 (UTC)
Okay, on the Vertigo website it calls the main storyline within 'The Mean Seasons' not 'TMS' at all but 'The Year After' [1]. It appears that 'TMS' is just the name of the trade and the colloquial name for that story. Should it be changed? Also, shouldn't the stories section include that prose back-up story from one of the trades featuring some of the Bigby/Snow history? (I would add it myself but don't have the name of the story to hand). Jayunderscorezero 14:55, 2 August 2006 (UTC)
I have edited the paragraph about who'd reportedly take over Willingham as the original comment was in extremely poor taste as reported. The link goes to a forum thread where Willingham jokes he'd only leave the title if he died. We can only report that in case Willingham can't continue the story he's mentioned who'd continue writing it. I've adjusted the wording to reflect this but I'd even go as far as removing the reference (which points to a jokingly-worded forum post). (sorry, forgot to sign) eduo 10:23, 14 November 2006 (UTC)
There are countless mentions and allusions to other works of fiction other than fables themselves. A large one is obviously the references to Lord of the Flies while a lesser known one being that a comic Flycatcher is reading, 'Red Hood', has a cover near identical to the cover of the 10th Anniversary edition of The Dark Knight Returns. Don't know why, but these things seemed to be nagging me. ---- —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 74.106.221.56 ( talk) 18:21, 19 January 2007 (UTC).
Wasn't sure where to site this but: http://www.wizarduniverse.com/magazine/wizard/000513718.cfm gives a very thorough discussion of the original 50 issues, the creative process and the future of the series. Idtboy 18:54, 19 March 2007 (UTC)idtboy 3/19/2007
There is currently a request on the talk page for The Adversary for a move and an article-rewrite to make it more spoiler friendly. Please take a peek over thaddaway. samwaltz 03:19, 21 April 2007 (UTC)
Been looking at this page - Fables by source - with a degree of cynicism. I don't see the point of it, to be honest - the existing character write-ups provide full source information, where known, so a page that purely lists the characters by where they come from seems distinctly redundant. The layout's bad as well, with links in the headers, which violates Wikipedia policy, and, more often than not, the individual sections only contain one or two names, in some cases making the headers longer than the sections that they label. All looks decidedly strange.
I don't particularly wish to annoy Duggy, page creator and pretty much sole contributor, by nominating it for deletion without discussion, but he's ignored my comments on the discussion page there and the addition of a Cleanup tag, so I thought I'd open it up out here. The page, as it stands, looks awful and contains no information that doesn't exist elsewhere. So, what should be done with it? Can it be modified to be both useful and not look terrible. Or is it best to simply delete it? -- Tailkinker 21:00, 4 July 2007 (UTC)
Shouldn't we take the line about this not being a sandman spinoff out of the introductory paragraph? Even if that is a common misconception, it does not seem to be one of the first things a person would need to know about Fables. It is not part of the fundamental definition of what Fables is. I think it could go somewhere later in the article.
King Louie is described in the "Animal Farm" story of Fables as a "Kipling" character. He is not. He does not appear in the original Kipling stories, but was created by the Disney animators for their film version of The Jungle Book. Das Baz, aka Erudil 18:16, 23 April 2008 (UTC)
In Fables - Animal Farm, page 96. So, is there a rule against Wikipedia pointing out errors of fact in published books? Das Baz, aka Erudil 15:49, 25 April 2008 (UTC)
Read that "pretty much" page and nowhere does it state that it is forbidden to point out errors of fact in published books. It simply does not say that. Das Baz, aka Erudil 18:07, 26 April 2008 (UTC)
Where does it say Wikipedia cannot point out errors? Who made that decision? Das Baz, aka Erudil 15:24, 28 April 2008 (UTC)
Corecting an obvious error is not "including information that hasn't been published elsewhere." The correct information certainly has been published. Das Baz, aka Erudil 16:59, 5 May 2008 (UTC)
Here is the citation for the correct information: The Jungle Book, by Rudyard Kipling. Das Baz, aka Erudil 16:19, 10 May 2008 (UTC) Once again: Common knowledge does not constitute "original research," any way you slice it. Das Baz, aka Erudil 16:19, 10 May 2008 (UTC)
The 2006-2007 TV season is over and there's no Fables TV show. So I am removing it from the article. - Chavando ( talk)
Isn't King Cole the mayor as the series begins? The article presently suggests Prince Charming; but a preview I saw suggested he has just returned to town while Snow White was working with King Cole to run the show. — Duae Quartunciae ( talk · cont) 14:56, 28 December 2009 (UTC)
There is a crossover between Fables and The Unwritten #50-54 It should be cited here also or not? ALoopingIcon ( talk) 09:17, 5 November 2014 (UTC)

This paragraph in the article needs to be updated. The referenced article and other sites discuss The Wolf Among Us purely in terms of an episodic video adventure game. So far as I can tell it's not a new series in the Fables canon. Penelope Gordon ( talk) 06:53, 18 April 2017 (UTC)
